“We gather here, a joyous throng; Jovial greetings go gayly round With jest and laugh and shout and song, We make the floors and walls resound.” “Of the wealth of facts and fancies That our memories may recall, The old school-day romances Are the dearest, after all.” “Old dog-eared readers, scarred and inked With school-boy hatred, long extinct, Old histories that bored Me worst of all the school; old, worn Arithmetics, frayed, ripped, and torn— Now ye are all adored.”

“The old school house is a place I choose Afore all others, if I want to muse; I sit down where I used to sit and get My boyhood back, and better things with it— Faith, hope, and something, if it isn’t charity, It’s want of guile, and that’s a great rarity.” “From some sweet home, the morning bus Brings to the school Five days a week in sun or rain, Returning like a song’s refrain, A school girl pretty.” “You were a school boy—what beneath the sun So like a monkey? I was also one.”
